description Butterfinger Candy Bar Overview
The Butterfinger candy bar is a confection consisting of a crispy, flaky peanut butter center enrobed in a milk chocolate coating. It is manufactured by Ferrero under its Ferrara Candy Company subsidiary, having been acquired from Nestlé in 2018.

help Butterfinger Candy Bar FAQ
What is the crispy center in Butterfinger?
It is a crisp, flaky, peanut-buttery center covered in chocolate, not a soft nougat or caramel layer. Ferrero describes the candy as crispety, crunchety, and peanut-buttery, which matches its brittle layered bite.

Who makes Butterfinger now?
Ferrero owns the Butterfinger brand in the United States through its US confectionery business. Ferrero acquired Butterfinger and other Nestlé US brands in 2018 as part of a $2.8 billion deal. [Ferrero company history](https://www.ferrero.com/ladm/en/about-us/a-story-of-a-family)
Was Butterfinger originally a Nestlé candy?
No, it began with Chicago's Curtiss Candy Company and is often dated to the 1920s, before Nestlé acquired the brand in 1990. Ferrero took over the US business in 2018, so older Nestlé wrappers and current Ferrero-era bars come from different ownership periods.

Does Butterfinger contain peanuts, milk, and gluten?
Current Ferrero ingredient information lists peanuts, milk, and soy, and says the standard product is gluten-free. Allergens and formulas can vary by format, so check the package, especially because Butterfinger Crisp is listed separately by the brand. [Butterfinger FAQ](https://www.butterfinger.com/faqs)
